Brief history of Argentine sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands

More about the book

The historical connection between Argentina and Antarctica began in the early 20th century with the Nordenskjold expedition, leading to the establishment of the first meteorological station in the South Orkney Islands. Since the founding of the Argentine Antarctic Institute in 1951, Argentina has implemented a systematic occupation strategy, including summer campaigns and the establishment of scientific stations and military bases. This presence is justified by rights of proximity and continuous occupation since 1904, highlighting Argentina's commitment to its Antarctic territories.
